About the Artist

Elle M. Cohen is an award-winning writer, vocalist, and spoken word artist whose original works pair musical undertones with themes of vulnerability, empowerment, and renaissance. Her signature style features whimsical wordsmithing and progressive rhythms, yielding potent and captivating compositions. A seasoned performer, Elle has played Off-Broadway, the Apollo, countless venues across the US, and many a living room. She has also appeared on various major label studio recordings. 

 

In 2022, Elle’s debut spoken word opera, RUN, earned itself an Off-Broadway feature and took first place at NYC’s Downtown Urban Arts Festival. Some years before, a live showcase of her early works was the first ever original act to be offered a performance slot at the legendary Café Wha?, disrupting the iconic venue’s decades-deep “covers only” policy and paving the way for countless up-and-coming artists to follow.

 

Elle was born and built in NYC, but currently resides in sunny San Diego, where she serves as a worship leader and decorates her days with word-wielding, motherhood, sand structures (because castles are… meh), and tacos.
